Improving
Print Quality
Ifyoususpectthatprintqualityispoor,performthepatterntest(see
“PatternTest”onpage 19).Iftheresultsarepoor,usethefollowing
proceduretoimproveprintquality.
If the results of the last pattern test are poor:
1. FromtheOptionsmenu,selectExecute Purge Sequence,orpressF4.
2. Intheconfirmationdialogbox,click
Yes.
Theprintheadsarepurgedofmodelandsupportmaterial,andthe
wiperremovesexcessmaterialfromthem.
3. Repeatthepurgesequence.
4. Performthepatterntest.
If the results of the pattern test are still poor:
1. Manuallycleantheprintheads(see“CleaningthePrintHeads”on
page 16).
2. Performthepurgesequence.
3. Performthepatterntest.
If the results of the pattern test are still poor:
1. Carefullycleantheprintheadsagain,makingsurethereisnoresidue
leftonthem.
2. Performthepurgesequence.
3. Performthepatterntest.
If the results of the pattern test are still poor:

Cleaning and
Replacing the
Wiper
Arubberwiperbladeremovesexcessmaterialfromtheprintheadsafter
thepurgesequence.Thisisdoneautomaticallybeforeeachprintjob,and
performedmanuallyduringmaintenancetasks.Youshouldcleanthe
wiperandsurroundingareaatleastonceaweek.Ifthewiperisdamaged
orworn,replaceit.
Inanycase,replacethewiperatleastonceamonth.
To inspect and clean the wiper:
1. Prepare—
• isopropanol(IPA—isopropylalcohol)orethanol(ethylalcohol)
• disposablecleaninggloves
• anObjet‐suppliedcleaningclothorequivalent
• asparewiperblade
